Exposition,  Charleston,  S.  C,  Dec.  1, 1 90 1 ,  June  1, 1 902 


Scope  of  the 
Exposition. 


SHE  South  Carolina  Inter-State  and  West 
Indian  Exposition,  which  will  be  held  in 
the  City  of  Charleston  from  December  1, 
1901,  to  June  1,  1902,  will  reveal  to  the  world  the 
marvellous  development  of  the  South  in  the  last  quar- 
ter of  the  Nineteenth  Century.  From  a  purely 
agricultural  State,  South  Carolina  has  in  the  brief 
period  of  twenty-five  years,  attained  the  position  of 
leading  the  Southern  States  in  cotton  manufactures, 
and  stands  second  only  to  Massachusetts  in  the 
entire  Union.  But  South  Carolina  is  not  the  only 
Southern  State  which  has  developed  amazingly  along 
commercial  lines  in  the  same  period,  and  so  from  a 
South  Carolina  Exposition,  it  became  an  Inter-State 
affair,  and  then  there  seemed  no  good  reason  why 
the  enormous  resources  of  the  United  States  as  a 
whole  should  not  have  a  place  in  the  picture.  Tt  also 
seemed  good  and  right  to  have  all  the  great  cities,  as 
well  as  the  States  of  the  Union  represented  in  the 
Avenue  of  Cities  and  States,  and  it  appeared  espec- 
ially proper  and  feasible  to  show  the  resources  and 
industries  of  our  new  possessions  in  the  West  Indies, 
of  the  Philippines,  of  Mexico,  and  of  the  South  and 
Central  American  Republics.  Then  it  was  proposed 
that  many  of  the  specially  interesting  foreign  exhib- 
its should  be  removed  from  Paris  to  Charleston. 


COPYKIOHf    APPLIED    FOR. 

Thus  the  Exposition  became  national  and  even  inter- 
national in  character. 

The  scope  of  the  Exposition  is  thus  very  broad,  and 
while  it  was  designed  primarily  to  tell  the  world  the 
story  of  the  great  re  volution  in  commercial  conditions 
which  has  taken  place  in  the  South  during  the  last 
quarter  of  the  Nineteenth  Century,  it  is  also  designed 
to  do  far  more  than  this.  One  of  the  main  features 
of  the  Exposition  will  be  a  Textile  Building,  in  which 
an  object  lesson  will  be  given  of  the  wonderful  devel- 
opment of  cotton  manufactures  in  the  Sonth  in  the 
past  twenty  years.  Liberal  space  will  be  given  to 
exhibits  of  agricultural  products  peculiar  to  the 
South,  such  as  tea,  hemp  and  tobacco,  also  to  home 
exhibits  of  non-agricultural  products,  such  as  phos- 
phates; to  exhibits  of  forestry,  of  fish  and  fisheries. 
What  South  Carolina  is  accomplishing  in  the  line  of 
education  will  be  shown  to  the  world,  the  varied  re- 
sources of  each  county  in  the  State  will  be  exploited 
in  detail,  and  the  exhibit  of  live  stock  will  be  espec- 
ially fine.  The  Good  Roads  Exhibit  will  prove  of 
paramount  importance  to  the  people  of  the  country, 
and  above  all  the  exhibits  from  Cuba,  Porto  Rico,  the 
Philippines,  Mexico  and  the  South  and  Central 
American  Republics  will  command  the  most  general 
and  vital  interest.  Nor  will  this  interest  be  aroused 


nr.ufly  fnm  cumsity  with  regard  to  foreign  coun- 
tries and  to  our  new  possessions,  but  the  business 
sense  of  the  visitors  to  the  Exposition  will  lead  them 
to  observe  with  special  attention  all  that  points  to  a 
further  expansion  of  American  trade  and  to  new 
markets  for  American  manufactures.  With  Cuba 
and  Porto  Rico  importing  most  of  their  rice  from  the 
British  East  Indies,  and  importing  also  all  wheat, 
corn,  bread  stuffs,  hog  and  dairy  products,  in  fact, 
most  of  the  necessai  ies  of  life,  and  with  all  the  West 
Indian  Islands  impoiting  and  needing  large  and  con- 
stantly increasing  supplies  of  cotton  goods,  there 
should  be  a  market  for  everything  raised  and  pro- 
duced in  the  South,  and  in  America,  at  our  very 
doors. 

e  State         ^ne  General  Assembly  of  f-outh  Carolina  pas'ed  a 

jports  f/irresolution  in  January,  1900,  approving  the  project  of 

position,   holding  an  Inter-State  and  International  Exposition 

in  Charleston,  and  in  January,   1901,  passed  an  Act 

appioprii.ting  $50,000  forth**  purpose  of  erecting  a 

Stale  Building  on  the  Exposition  grounds  and  making 


THE    4TATE   CAPITOL   AT    COLUMBIA 


a  complete  display  of  the  products  and  resources  of 
the  State.  The  resolution  was  adopted  unanimously. 
The  Bill  was  passed  almost  without  objection,  the 
vote  in  the  State  Senate  being  mote  than  four  to  one 
in  favor  of  the  Bill,  and  in  the  House  exactly  four 
to  one.  The  Governor  of  the  State  has  appointed  a 
Special  Commission  of  five  members  to  direct  the 
State  exhibit.  

on      T^e  ^ity  Council  of  Churleston  has  appropriated 
d  other    f50,<  00  in  aid  of  the  Exposition,  and  has  designated 
ties.          a  Special  Commission  to  assist  the  Exposition  Com- 
pany in  its  work.     The  Exposition  has  received  the 


cordial  approval  of 
many  of  the  largest 
cities  in  the  country 
and  the  City  of  Bal- 
timore, Man  land, 
will  erect  a  building 
on  the  Exposition 
grounds  for  the  pur- 
pose of  making  an 
exhibit  of  the  re- 
sources of  Maryland 
and  the  commercial 
andindustrial  wealth 
of  Baltimore.  Other 
special  buildings  on 
the  Exposition 
grounds  will  be 
erected  by  New  York, 
Philadelphia,  Penn- 
sylvania, Illinoisand 
the  Louisiana  Pur- 
chase Exposiiion 
Company,  and  assu- 
rances have  been  received  from  a  number  of  other 
States  of  their  intention  to  be  represented  at  the  Ex- 
position in  Charleston.

Mr.  Theodore  C.  Kiwuff  has  been  for  months  work-     pet

ing as  a  Special  Commissioner  of  the  Exposition  to  rniss  cner. 

the  West  Indies,  Cuba  and  Puerto  Rico.  His  large 
experience  in  Expo-ition  work  and  his  familiarity 
with  the  language  and  the  commercial  conditions  of 
the  West  Indies  has  enabled  him  to  enlist  the  co-op- 
eration of  those  whe  are  engaged  in  busings  and 
industrial  occupations. 


The  site  chosen  by  the  Board  of  Directors  for  the 
Exposition  is  a  tract  of  about  one  hundred  and  sixty 
acres  of  land  on  the  eastern  bank  of  the  Ashley  River 
about  two  and  aha'f  miles  from  the  business  centre 
of  the  city,  and  within  the  city  limits.  This  tract  of 
land  is  considered  by  Mr.  Bradford  L.  Gilbert,  the 
Supervising  Architect  of  the  South  Carolina  Inter- 
State  and  West  Indian  Exposition,  as  constituting 
an  ideal  site  for  the  fairy-land  of  palaces  «nd  towers 
and  gardens  whk-h  is  springing  up  there  like 
ma«ic  under  the  touch  of  Twentieth  Century  wizards. 
The  slightly  rolling  country  lends  itself  readily  to 
varied  and  artistic  effects,  and  the  magnificent  live 
oaks,  with  their  sh»dowy  and  graceful  pendants  of 
Spanish  moss,  constitute  a  feature  which  no  money 
could  supply.  The  beautiful  groves  and  green  slopes

of  the  Wag- 
e  n  e  r  Farm 
provide  a  per- 
f  e  c  t  back- 
ground for 
the  architect 
and  land- 
scape gar- 
dener to  work 
upon,  and  the 
well  wooded 
country 
around,  and 
the  sparkling 
river  which 
skirts  the  Ex- 
p  o  s  i  t  io  n 
grounds  upon 
the  west, 
while  not  ac- 
tually part 
and  parcel  of 
the  tract,  fur- 
nish no  mean 
setting  for 
the  splendid 
picture. 

The  Wagener  Driving  Park,  which  is  included  in 
the  Exposition  grounds  as  Ihey  now  stand,  forms  an 
important  part  of  the  grounds,  and  will  be  used  as  a 
race  course  and  improved  for  this  purpose  by  the 
Exposition  Company.  On  the  Wagener  Farm  there 
stamls  also  an  old  colonial  home  which  was  the  scene 
of  lavish  comfort  and  open-hearted  hospitality  in 
days  gone  by.  This  house  is  a  good  example  of  colo- 
nial architecture,  and  will  be  used  as  the  Woman's 
Building. 

The  entire  tract  is  easy  of  access  from  the  city  by 
private  conveyance  or  electric  railroad  system,  and 
from  other  points  by  steam  railway  on  the  east  side, 
and  by  water  transportation  from  the  west  side  of  the 
Ashley  River,  the  grounds  having  a  river  frontage  of 
about  2,000  feet,  and  the  river  at  this  point  affording 
anchorage  for  the  largest  vessels. 

The  making  of  a  lake  some  thirty  acres  in  extent 
constitutes  an  important  feature  of  the  work,  and  the 
planting  of  indigenous  plants  and  vines,  which,  in 
this  genial  clime,  grow  vigorously  and  thrive  even 
during  the  winter  months,  has  been  accomplished. 


OAPT.    F.    W.    WAQiNIR, 
PBHIDIHT    EXPOtlTION    CO. 


The  principal  buildings  of  the  Exposition  are  eleven 
iif  number.  By  a  happy  accidental  shaping  of  the 
irregular  tract  constituting  the  site,  it  has  been  pos- 


sible to  treat  it  after  two  distinct  methods,  by  one  of 
which  the  natural  features  are  emphasized  and  pre- 
served, while  the  other  is  treated  entirely  from  the 
standpoint  of  art.  In  the  northern  division  of  the 
site  nature  has  accomplished  results  and  made  possi- 
ble landscape  effects  which  it  would  take  Centuries  to 
reproduce,  even  at  an  enormous  outlay.  For  this 
reason  this  half  of  the  Exposition  grounds  will  form 
a  natural  park  of  great  beauty.  Instead  of  the  usual 
dusty,  blinding,  tiresome,  shadeless  roadway,  a  wind- 
ing path  of  100  feet  in  width  will  be  carried  under 
the  spreading  live  oaks  along  the  edge  of  the  lake 
with  sea's  in  shady  nooks  for  tired  pedestrians,  where 
those  who  are  capable  of  appreciating  the  work  of  the 
Architect  of  the  Universe  in  all  its  magnificent  sim- 
plicity may  enjoy  a  sense  of  repose.  Through  the 
foliage,  placed  here  and  there  upon  appropriate  ped- 
estals, will  be  found  interesting  groups  of  statuary 
by  the  most  celebrated  sculptors. 

On  account  of  its 
peculiarly  "South- 
ern atmosphere"  no 
comparison  can  be 
made,  nor  is  desired, 
with  any  other  Ex- 
position, and  the 
South  Carolina  In- 
ter-State and  West 
Indian  Exposition 
will  have  the  advan- 
tage of  certain  per- 
fecrly  original  feat- 
ures impossible  else- 
where. 

Undoubtedly 
Charleston  is  one  of 
the  most  interesting 
of  the  older  South- 
ern cities,  contain- 
ing as  it  does  so 
many  quaint,  pic- 
turesque bits  of 

architectural  design  of  strictly  colonial  type. 
These  it  is  proposed  to  emphasize  and  thus  carry 
out  the  predominating  feature  of  the  Exposition  in 
harmony. 

In  the  natural  division  of  the  grounds  will  be  a  Lake 
with  a  wide  embankment.  In  this  Lake  will  b«  Elec- 
trical Island,  on  which  will  stand  an  Electrical  Foun- 
tain of  unique  and  symbolic  design.  This  Lake  has 
been  fancifully  named  by  the  Architect  "Lake  Juan- 
ita."  and  upon  its  eastern  shore  the  Maryland  Build- 
ing, a  siructure  of  classic  design,  has  been  erected. 


JOHN    F.    FICKEN, 
GtNlRAL   COUNSEL    EXPOSITION    CO. 


On  the  opposite  side  of  this  Lake  the  Machinery  and 
Transportation  Buildines  have  been  erected. 

These  buildings,  which  are  rather  long  «nd  low  in 
outline,  will  gain  height  and  grace  from  the  reflec- 
tions in  the.'Lake,  while  at  night  the  rows  ol  lights

of  varied  hues  carried  along  the  buildings,  and  sus- 
pended in  the  trees  will  add  enchantment  to  the 
scene.  In  this  part  of  the  grounds  there  is  a 
grand  avenue  dedicated  to  States  and  Cities. 

The  Negro  Building  is,  in  its  general  architectural 
features,  of  the  Spanish  Renaissance 
order,  of  a  strongly  Mexican  mission 
type.  The  building  will  be  some- 
thing like  the  letter  H  in  general 
outline.  It  will  have  two  wings  en- 
closing an  inner  court,  and  will  con- 
tain twelve  thousand  square  feet 
of  space.  The  exhibit  made  in  this 
building  is  designed  to  show  the  de- 
velopment of  the  negro  race  in  the 
last  twenty-five  years.  No  man  of 
his  race  is  better  able  to  handle  this 
project  than  Booker  T.  Washing- 
ton, the  head  of  the  Negro  Depart- 
ment. 

The  Art  Building,  Fisheries  Build 
ing  and  the  Grand  Stand  from  which 
the  sports  and  contests  on  the  race 
track  can  be  viewed,  also  occupy 
this  part  of  the  grounds. 

The  present  homestead,  with  all  its  delightful  color 
and  outlines,  will  be  retained  for  the  Woman's 
Building  of  the  South  Carolina  Inter-State  und  West 


Indian  Exposition.  The  Architect  has  designed  a 
very  handsome  annex  to  this  building  in  harmony 
with  its  true  colonial  lin^s. 

On  the  Ashley  Ri'-er  side  of  this  property  a  sea  wall 
has  been  built  for  the  purpose  of  utility  as  forming 
an  axis  upon  which  the  State  and 
Art  Buildings'will  parallel. 

A  pier  has  been  carried  out  far 
enough  into  the  river  to  admit  of  the 
landing~of  vessels'and  boats. 

Indirect  contrast,  the  southernlside 
of  the  grounds,  comprising  the  level 
land  of  thelold  Washington  Race 
Course,  is  treated  according  to. the 
rules  of  the  highest  type  of  art. 
Grouped  around  the."  four  sides  of  a 
beautiful  plaza  are  the  principal  Ex- 
position buildings.  While  each  is 
designed  with  an  individual  treat- 
ment, they  form  together  a  harmoni- 
ous whole,  the  entire  effect  leading 
up  by  natural  gradations  to  the  Tex- 
tile BuUdingor  Cotton  Palace,  which 
covers  over  50,000  square  feet  of 
ground,  and  will  prove  the  most  im- 
posing and  impressive  of  the  structures.  This 
building  rises  to  a  height1  of  160  feet  and  shows  a 
facade  of  over  360  ft- et,  broken  by  various'pediments, 
projections,  dome-«,  red-tiled  roofs  and  turrets,  in]  a 
typically  Southern  style  of  architecture.  The_motif 


TMI    PALACE   Of   A*T. 


is  Spanish-American  with  huge  masses,  simple  and 
strong  contour  and  outlines,  with  enrichments  of 
terraces  and  sculpture  at  various  entrances  and  initial 


points.  Ita  entire  Court  or  Patio  (100  feet  in  diam- 
eter), will  be  filled  with  tropical  plants  and  enriched 
by  fountains.  At  the  right  of  the  plaza,  the  Com- 
merce, or  Liberal  Arts  Building,  will  be  erected. 
Opposite  this  will  be  the  building  devoted  to  Agri- 


cultural  and  similar  exhibits,  containing  over  43.COO 
square  feet  of  floor  area  At  the  northern  end  of  the 
plaza  will  be  the  Auditorium,  with  a  seating  capacity 
of  nearly  4,000,  in  which  will  be  placed  the  grand 
organ  now  being  specially  constructed  by  M.  P.  Mol- 
ler,  of  Hagerstown,  Maryland,  for  the  Exposition. 
A  careful  study  of  this  grand  plaza  or  Court  of  Honor 
will  easily  demonstrate  the  many  points  of  interest 
obtainable.  While  the  buildings  will  be  separated  by 
several  hundred  feet,  the  colonnade  connecting  the 
three  principal  structures  will  euhance  the  continuity 
and  give  repose  and  dignity  to  the  design. 

The  plaza  between  the  buildings  occupies  a  length 
of  nearly  1,200  feet  and  a  width  of  over  90U  feet.  At 
its  center,  some  7liO  feet  in  length  by  45t)  feet  in 
width,  there  is  a  beautiful  sunken  garden  with  slop- 
ing terraces  of  verdant  green. 

On  the  edge  of  this  garden,  around  its  sides,  will 
be  carried  lines  of  stalely  paluiettoes,  with  walks  and 
se«ts  between,  forming  a  fringe  of  delightful  outline 
and  coloring,  through  which  can  be  seen  the  build- 
iugs  themselves  rich  in  design  and  color.  Carried 
entirely  around  thtse  gardens,  and  opening  off  the 
principal  avenues  of  approach  will  be  a  continuous 
plaza  smoothly  paved,  over  150  feet  in  width,  en- 
riched on  either  side  at  intervals  by  ever-blooming 
flowers,  masses  of  green  lawn,  and  here  and  there  at 
points  of  interest  groups  of  statuary  set  off  against  the 
green  of  the  foliage.  At  night  the  beauties  of  the 
sunken  garden  and  the  lights  and  shades  of  the  build- 
ings will  be  emphasized  by  search  lights  in  all  direc- 
tions. 


At  the  entrance  to  the  Exposition  grounds  stands 
the  Administration  Building,  covering  about  15,000 
square  feet.  The  first  impression  on  entering  the 
grounds  at  any  of  the  entrances  will  be  one  of  im- 
pressive magnificence.  The  building  devoted  to 
Minerals  and  Forestry,  covering  an 
area  of  20,000  square  feet,  stands  oppo- 
site the  Administration  Building.  The 
impo-ing  entrance  of  the  Midway  will 
open  off  the  ?atne  plaza.  About  22 
acres  of  ground  has  been  devoted  to  the 
various  Midway  attractions,  always  one 
of  the  most  interesting  and  instructive 
of  modern  Expositions. 

Opposite  this  entrance  will  be  found 
another  entrance  of  different  design, 
but  equally  appropriate  treatment, 
leading  to  the  Live  Stock  Exhibit, 
for  which  15  acres  of  ground  have  been 
set  aside. 

In  addition  to  the  Grand  Band  Stand, 
placed  at  the  northern  end  of  the  gardens,  on 
the  plaza,  other  stands  will  be  erected  throughout

the  grounds,  where  those  who  enjoy  outdoor  music 
may  do  so  to  their  heart's  content. 

The  buildings  will  be  constructed  of  a  strong  tim- 
ber frame  work  with  such  iron  M  may  be  required  for 


stiffness  and  additional  strength,  and  the  entire  ex- 
posed surfaces  will  be  covered  with  what  is  now  gen- 
erally known  as  "staff."  The  predominating  colors

will  be  a  soft  ivory  with  white  trimming?,  and  in 
many  cases  a  color  enrichment  in  shades  of  red  and

Mr.  Bradford  L.  Gilbert,  the  Architect-in-Chief  of 
the  South  Carolina  Inter-State  and  West  Indian 
Exposition,  is  a  native  of  New  York  City.  In  1875, 
he  was  graduated  f  iom  Yale  College  with  honors,  and 
then  took  a  special  course  in  architecture,  after  which 
he  entered  the  firm  of  Cady,  Burgh  &  Company,  of 
New  York  City.  While  connected  with  this  firm  Mr. 
Gilbert  had  a  share  in  the  building  of  the  Metropoli- 
tan Opera  House  and  other  important  architectural 
work  in  New  York. 

Mr.  Gilbert  has  made  a  specialty  of  heavy  construc- 
tion work,  such  as  churches  and  public  buildings. 
He  has  devoted  in  jch  time  to  the  solution  of  intricate 
problems  in  the  construction  of  railroad  stations  and 
terminals,  and  is  now  employed  as  the  architect  of 
about  a  dozen  of  the  leading  railroad  systems  of  the 
country.  Among  the  more  impottant  buildings  that 
have  been  constructed  from  Mr.  Gilbert's  designs  and 
under  his  supervision  are  the  general  offices  of  the 
Mexican  National  Railway,  in  the  Ciiy  of  Mexico, 
the  new  depot  at  Concord,  New  Hampshire,  and  the 
office  and  terminal  building  of  the  Illinois  Central 
and  Big  Four  and  the  Michigan  Central  at  Chicago. 
Mr.  Gilbert  has  recently  reconstructed  the  Grand 
Central  Depot  in  New  York  City,  and  has  received 
unqualified  praise  for  the  fine  artistic  taste  and  busi- 
ness ability  displayed  by  him  in  this  work. 

Mr.  Gilbert  is  especially  fitted  for  the  position  he 
holds  in  th»  South  Carolina  Inter-State  and  West  In- 
dian Exposition,  by  rtaaon  of  his  large  experience  in 


Exposition  building.  At  the  World's  Fair  at  Chi- 
cago, he  gave:evidence!of,his  capacity  in  this  particu- 
lar kind  of  construction,  and  fifteen  of  the  more  im- 
portant buildings  of  the  great  Cotton  Exposition  held 
at  Atlanta,  in  1895,  were  made  from  his  designs  and 
under  his  supervision.  He  is  thoroughly  satisfied  with

the  artistic  possibilities  of  the  site  chosen  for  the 
South  Carolina  Inter-State  and  West  Indian  Exposi- 
tion, and  has  employed  in  his  work  at  Charleston  the 
most  capable  designers  and  architects  to  be  found  in 
the  South  and  in  the  United  States. 


neharst  The  only  commercial  tea  grown  in  the  Western 
a.  Gardens  Hemisphere  is  that  produced  at  the  Pinehurst  Te.i 
Gardens,  a  short  distance  from  Charleston.  This  ex- 
hibit will  be  absolutely  unique,  and  will,  no  doubt, 
prove  one  of  intense  interest  to  visitors.  It  will  be 
both  scientific  and  commercial  in  character.  The  tea 
plant  will  be  shown  growing  upon  the  Exposition 
grounds,  and  the  various  processes  of  picking,  drying, 
curing  and  packing  will  be  practically  illustrated  for 
the  benefit  of  visitors.  To  the  thoughtful  mind  this 
exhibit  will  be  one  of  exceptional  value  as  offering  a 
new  field  to  industry  and  capital,  supplying  an  easy 
and  healthful  livelihood  to  idle  thousands,  and  im- 
parting a  value  to  immense  tracts  of  now  waste  lands.

Twenty-four  btates  and  cities  of  the  United  States 
hare  made  provision  for  State  Buildings  or  State  ex- 
hibits at  the  Exposition.  New  York  has  appro- 
priated $16,000  for  a  State  Building  and  State  ex- 
hibit; Maryland  $25,000  for  the  same  purpose.: 
Philadelphia  $35,00<»  for  a  Philadelphia  Building  and 


a  splendid  ubibit  of  the  historic  and  art  treasures 
of  that  city,  with  the  Liberty  Bell  set  in  the  midst 
thereof.  The  Slate  of  Illinois  has  appropriated 
$25,00(1  for  a  State  Building ai  Charleston;  the  State 
of  Pennsylvania  $35,000  for  the  like  purpose;  the 
State  of  Kansas  has  appropriated  $M),00<>  for  an  ex- 
hibit at  Charleston  and  the  State  of 
Oregon,  $'<J5,COO.  The  State  of 
North  Carolina  will  make  an  exhibit 
costing  from  $?5,(:0'»  to  $100,000. 
The  Slate  of  Missouri  ha-<  appropri- 
ated $10,000  for  a  State  Building 
at  Charleston,  and  the  Louisiana  Pur- 
chase Exposition  Company  will  erect 
a  building  at  Charleston  at  a  cost  of 
$10,000.  Louisiana  and  Georgia 
and  Alabama  have  provided  for  ex- 
hibits at  Charleston,  and  a  string  of 
other  States  and  Cities  will  be  rep- 
resented at  the  South  Carolina  Inter- 
.state  and  West  Indian  Exposition. 
The  value  of  these  exhibits  to 
home-seekers  and  capitalists  cannot 
be  over  estimated. 


Charleston  belongs  to  the  best  type  of  the  old  colo-  Quaint  Old 
nial  cities  of  the  United  States.     Settled  in  1670  it  Charleston. 
was  moved  to  its  present  site  in  1672  and  lies  on  the 
narrow  neck  of  land  between  the  Ashley,  and^the 


A  CORNER  IN    COLONIAL    LAKt. 


Cooper  Rivers,  very  much  as  New  York  lies  between 
the  East  and  North  Rivers.  It  contains  Pome  fln* 
specimens  of  old  colonial  architecture  and  is  a  city  of 


sunshine  and  roses,  being  famous  for  its  bright  and 
genial  winter  climate  and  for  its  rose  gardens.  It  is 
a  city  of  safe,  conservative  business  methods;  its 
prosperity  is  real  and  substantial,  but  its  inhabitants, 
while  eminently  social  and  hospitable  in  tempera- 
ment, are  not  given  to  display.  Some  of  its  institu- 
tions and  customs  are  survivals  from  an  old-world 
past  and  full  of  interest  and  charm  to  the  lover  of 
the  olden  time. 

On  the  Ashley  and  the  Cooper  are  the  old  baronial 
estates  of  the  wealthy  rice  planters  and  slave  owners 
who  once  constituted  the  aristocratic  cla's  of  South 
Carolina.  Many  of  these  fertile  old  plantations  hav« 
been  abandoned  because  of  new  conditions,  but 
many  are  still  occupied  by  families  that  have  owned 
them  for  two  centuries,  and  within  these  homes,  if 
one  can  gain  admission  there,  may  be  seen  such  won- 
derful antique  furniture,  old  portraits  and  mi  natures 
and  other  relics  of  colonial  days  as  would  delight  the 
heart  of  the  collector. 

The  harbor  of  Charleston  is  one  of  the  most  spacious 
and  beautiful  on  the  Atlantic  Coast.  With  30  feet 
of  water  on  the  bar,  and  an  open  port  all  the  year 
round,  and  with  its  nearness  to  our  new  market  in  the 
West  Indies,  Charleston  is  destined  to  hold  a  com- 
manding position  among  Atlantic  commercial  ports 
in  the  Twentieth  Century. 


St.  Michael's  Church  is  one  of  the  oldest  and  most 
interesting  churches  in  Charleston.  It  attracts  the 
attention  of  every  visitor  by  the 
graceful  lines  of  its  steeple  and 
by  the  sweet  chiming  of  its  bells. 
The  romantic  incidents  connected 
with  the?e  chimes  add  much  to 
the  attractions  of  the  old  church 
itself.  St.  Michael'*  was  opened 
for  service  in  1761.  Battered  by 
shot  and  shell  during  two  wars, 
shattered  by  the  terrible  earth- 
quake of  1883,  it  still  remains 
the  pride  of  the  modern  Charles- 
tonian,  as  it  has  been  that  of 
generations  passed  away. 


•T.    MICHAIL'S    CHURCH. 


The  South  Carolina  Inter-State 
and  West  Indian  Exposition 
will  afford  a  splendid  opportunity 
for  the  extension  of  industrial  and  commercial  enter- 
prise in  the  West  Indies  and  in  Central  and  South 
America.  These  countries  have  a  population 
of  more  than  50,000,000,  living  in  lands  un- 


suited  to  the  production  of  bread^tuffs  and  meet 
and  the  manufacturing  of  cloth,  but  producing 
in  abundance  coffee,  sugar,  fruit,  tobacco  and 
other  articles  in  general  consumption  in  the 
country.  The  City  of  Charleston  is  admirably 
adapted  to  the  development  of  the  most  intimate 


DOME   OF   THE    AOMIM JTRATION    BUILDING. 


trade  relations  with  these  countries.  For  example, 
the  distance  from  Havana  to  Cincinnati  by  way  of 
Charleston  is  300  miles  less  than  by  way  of  Baltimore ; 
500  miles  less  than  by  way  of  New  York  and  500 
miles  less  than  byway  of  Boston.  Charleston  has 
the  same  advantage  as  regards  the  whole  of  the  West 
Indies  and  Central  and  South  America,  and,  with  any- 
thing like  a  proper  development  of  railroad  lines, 
even  the  Gulf  ports,  with  all  their  admitted  advan- 
tages, should  not  be  able  to  compete  successfully 
With  Charleston  as  a  port  through  which  to  transact 
an  immense  West  Indian  and  South  American  busi- 
less.  To  Charleston  the  voyage  is  less  perilous  and 
nsurance  and  other  charges  should  be  much  less  to 
his  port  than  to  the  Gulf  ports.  As  compared  with 
hese  latter  ports,  Charleston  has  no  equal  as  a  desir- 
able outlet  for  the  products  of  the  great  West.  By 
Bailing  vessel  the  run  from  Charleston  to  the  British 
ports  is  ten  days  less  than  from  New  Orleans,  and 
this  difference  alone  ought  to  be  sufficient  to  make 
it  to  the  interest  of  the  West  to  trade  through  Charles- 
ton. 

The  nearness  of  Charleston  to  the  new  West  Indian 
possessions  of  the  United  States,  the  safety  of  navi- 


gation  and  the  fine  railroad  and  terminal  facilities 
of  this  port  wilFmake  this  Exposition  of  special  value 
and  importance  to  Southern  manufacturers  and  mer- 
chants for  the  development  cf  new  and  larger  trade 
relations  with  the  West  Indies.  Cuba  is  an  immensely 
rich  countrr,  its  soil  being  so  exceedingly  fertile  that 
sugar  cane  has  been  grown  in  the  same  fields  for  cen- 
turies wilhout  the  aid  of  fertilizers,  and  although  the 
industries  of  that  country  have  been  fearfully  devas- 
tated by  war,  under  the  never  »nd  better  conditions 
of  independence  the  re  is  every  reason  to  believe  that 
the  development  of  Cuba  within  the  rear  future  win 
far  exceed  the  wildest  dreams  of  the  enthusiast.  Be- 
sides the  immensely  rich  products  of  the  Cuban  sugar 
and  tobf  ceo  fields,  the  weeded  weaJth  of  Cuba  and 
its  orchards  and  vineyards  offer  spl<  ndid  opportuni- 
ties for  the  investment  of  .American  capital  and  de- 
velopm^ent  by~American  energy.  Wit  ha  population! 
tJy~the~liTsTSfarmh  census,  of  1,681,687,  and  wilhout 
manufacturing  establishments  of  their  own,  a  splen- 
did field  is  waiting  in  Cuba  for  occupation  by:the 
manufacturers  of  the  United  States,  ard  particularly 
by  the  manufacturers  of  cot  con  goods  in  the  Southern 
part  <  f  this  country. 

There  is  a  fine  field  also  in  Porto  Rico  for  Ameri- 
can occupation — not  occupation  by  arms,  or  as  the 
result  of  military  conquest,  but  occupation  by  the 
merchants  and  manufacturers  of  the  United  States 
and  particularly  of  i  he  merchants  and  manufacturers 
of  the  Southern  States.  With  a  population,  by  the 
last  Spanish  census,  of  814,708,  all  of  whom  have  to 
be  clothed  and  fed,  there  is  a  market  for  United 
States  manufactured  goods  and  food  materials  which 
would  yield  a  most  handsome  revenue  to  this  country 
if  it  were  diligently  cultivated. 

As  it  is  in  the  West  Indies  so  it  is  also  in  the  South 


American  countries  where  there  has  been  slight  manu- 
facturing development,  but  where  there a*e  millirrs 
of  people  who  ought  to  wear  clothes  and  who  have  a 
great  deal  to  exchange  for  them  in  the  way  of  barter 
and' trade.  It  is  one  of  the  thief  purposes  of  the 
Exposition  at  Charleston  to  open  a  way  for  the  mer- 
chants and  manufacturers  and  industrial  workers  of 
the  United  States  to  enlarge  these  new  lines  and 
markets  for  the  sale  of  American  products  ard  the 
exchange  in  return  of  what  is  grown  in  the  countries 
to  the  South  of  us.  It  is  for  this  reason  that  the 
name  of  the  Exposition  at  Charleston  was  made  "The 

South  Carolina  Intfr- State  and  West  Indian  Exposi- 
tion."
